Chip's Auto & Tire is now owned by Jason Ladd, who I understand worked with Chip for years. I had…read morepurchased tires in the past from Chip's but never had any repair work done. I had a serious, intermittent issue with my engine that I tried standard fixes for with no luck so I decided to take a chance on Ladd's. I brought it in to Jason and crew who were initially unsure what was wrong as well. Hours of googling finally suggested an unusual cause for the problem. When I hesitantly suggested it to Jason, he investigated and was able to verify the problem and fix it within a day. The total cost was 1/10th what I feared it might be. Thanks Jason! I wholeheartedly recommend Ladd's and will definitely be back whenever I need help.

I told our tow truck driver to take the car there thinking it was another place I was familiar with. I had never been to VIP but somehow the branding stayed in my mind. :) They were able to work with us while we were traveling and we are grateful. Their prices are fair and the service was excellent. We needed a battery and they were able to store the car, for a daily fee, until we could pick it up.

May 1, 2025 (The Red…read moreBalloon) This is NOT some one-off review... it merely follows and confirms the review I gave this business in October... Cliff, Dominic, Jacob... and the gentleman hidden beneath my vehicle handling the oil drop... In a word: Superlative... In late October... I had mentioned to Jacob about distributing helium balloons to the kids while they waited patiently for the vehicle service in mom/dad's car... it was just a suggestion... I did not think he would take me literally... But he went further... I was the destination of the idea he ran with... After a 5-minute wait, I received an oil change today in addition to a safety check... tire pressure check... vehicle lights... and car wash... (the high center brake light assembly was also changed!) With humor... aplomb, dignity... and professional assessments of my truck... And... Jacob handed me a coveted red helium balloon... Perhaps it is just symbolism... but this gesture is far-reaching... this cements my go-to place for service... Not just a simple symbol... but an assurance of consistency in service standards... I am carrying the spouse in my truck... others are carrying kids... Truly... they are most important cargo of all... Thank you for such great service! Tom Baker

I was hoodwinked into saying ok to their "let's do the oil change/air filter change BEFORE the…read moreinspection" and was thereby TRICKED into spending over $300 BEFORE they did looked at the truck's under body which FAILED inspection. If I had known the truck would fail inspection, then why would I spend over $300 on the old change and air filters? The order in which the two services occurred is DELIBERATELY DESIGNED so that the company can MAKE MONEY before failing your inspection. THIS IS SURELY NOT A GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE. BUYERS BEWARE. AT THE VERY LEAST, BE SURE TO INSIST THAT THEY PERFORM THE INSPECTION FIRST. DON'T BE HOODWINKED.

I brought a second car over and he told me the things that were wrong with it and advised me to talk to the dealer about getting it fixed before I bought it. I did and they did!! Jon got me in for the next week for an undercoat and oil change he filled all the fluids and explained to me that I needed to keep an eye on the oil because it was a car that tends to burn more. The conclusion to this is that instead of having me get the car and then pay him to do the work he was fair and honest and helped me save money. This is the most honest shop I've ever been to, and as a woman that's saying allot!!

If you go for a ball joint, they will sell you control arms. They will say, it will be impossible to do the job without the upgrade.

This has happened to me on multiple occasions. It's deeply frustrating for people who work insane hours to take the time to drive over (with plenty of time to spare), only to be told in a very brusque manner that they aren't accepting any more cars.

Aiden did an amazing job--fast, efficient, and thorough--and went the extra mile by offering helpful advice on maintaining my windshield wiper blades.
